That my friends is one brutal leg of a tour.
We have confirmation of all the above dates with the exception of the Pittsburgh show which we're still trying to nail down an exact date for and at this point the postponement of the 12/17/1988 show is based on fan memory.

Not counting the unconfirmed Pittsburgh show or the postponed Philly show the band played nineteen shows in a span of twenty-four days!

This leg of the tour saw the band play a string of five shows in five nights (11/25 - 11/29) and a string of four shows in four nights (12/1 - 12/4).

I'm still hunting for the article where Perry complains about the grueling touring schedule and I'll post it here once I track it down but it's really little wonder he complained when you look at that schedule.

The bottom line and the reason for my post is that after speaking with helicine we've decided to add the show on 11/26 to the database and have done so.

I guess I'm just surprised by these four shows in four nights and five shows in five nights occurrences but I was looking over the gig list and the instances I posted about aren't the only instances of this occurring.

During the time in 1988 when Jane's were opening for Iggy and The Ramones there is one four shows in four nights instance and one five shows in five night instance.

I was at the second night in Minneapolis. FANTASTIC show. Opener was a local band called Morticia, they were awful, lead singer was rolled out in a coffin. Lots of fake blood and amateurish goth. Ouch.

It had snowed like 2 feet, Navarro came out in a full length white fur coat with a Russian style fur hat that matched. Eric was in only his underwear, had flame orange hair. Opener was Coming Down the Mountain, if memory serves, the sound was notably HUGE for such a small room. Not loud, but HUGE. They had old-school film projectors propped around the small stage for parts of the light show. At a couple points, Perry hung from the rafters over the crowd singing.

One of my favorite memories at First Ave/7th Street. I waited outside in line all afternoon, and we were so coated with snow by the time I got in that the folks at the venue took pictures of us (we looked like alien snow people), and they gave us hot chocolate to warm up. I was about 4th in line, so I scored a seat at the rail they used to have just behind the sunken pit dancefloor. That place was pumping and bumping by the end of the night.
